BREAKING – A large cloud of smoke moving outside of California and Oregon is headed our way. Due to a change in wind direction, smoke has begun moving over Southwestern Washington and is expected to likely affect the Spokane area during the night and into tomorrow morning. Now is your chance to shop for essentials while conditions are moderate, before air quality becomes too unhealthy. Good air filtration systems will be crucial–please remain indoors and only leave your home if absolutely necessary.
